Standards for awarding high school credit equivalent to credit for completion of high school academic and vocational education courses.

(A)
The
state board of education shall adopt, by rule, standards for awarding high
school credit equivalent to credit for completion of high school academic and
vocational education courses to applicants for diplomas under this section. The
standards may permit high school credit to be granted to an applicant for any
of the following:

(i)
Has
attained the applicable scores designated under division (B)(1) of section
3301.0710 of the Revised Code on all of the assessments required by that
division or was excused or exempted from any such assessment pursuant to
section 3313.532 or was exempted from attaining the applicable score on any
such assessment pursuant to division (H) or (L) of section 3313.61 of the
Revised Code;

(ii)
Has
satisfied the alternative conditions prescribed in section 3313.615 of the
Revised Code.

(b)
On
or after July 1, 2014, has met the
requirement prescribed
by section 3313.618
of the Revised Code, except and only to the extent that the applicant is
excused from some portion of that section pursuant to section
3313.532 of the Revised Code or division (H) or (L) of section 3313.61 of the
Revised Code.

(4)
The
district board determines, in accordance with the standards adopted under
division (A) of this section, that the applicant has attained sufficient high
school credits, including equivalent credits awarded under such standards, to
qualify as having successfully completed the curriculum required by the
district for graduation.

(C)
If
a district board determines that an applicant is not eligible for a diploma
under division (B) of this section, it shall inform the applicant of the reason
the applicant is ineligible and shall provide a list of any courses required
for the diploma for which the applicant has not received credit. An applicant
may reapply for a diploma under this section at any time.

(D)
If
a district board awards an adult education diploma under this section, the
president and treasurer of the board and the superintendent of schools shall
sign it. Each diploma shall bear the date of its issuance, be in such form as
the district board prescribes, and be paid for from the district's general
fund, except that the state board may by rule prescribe standard language to be
included on each diploma.

(E)
As
used in this division, "limited English proficient student" has the same
meaning as in division (C)(3) of section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code.

Notwithstanding
division (C)(3) of section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code, no limited English
proficient student who has not either attained the applicable scores designated
under division (B)(1) of section 3301.0710 of the Revised Code on all the
assessments required by that division, or has not met the
requirement prescribed by
section
3313.618 of the Revised Code, shall be awarded a
diploma under this section.
